Foreclosure by Advertisement Timeline
Almost every foreclosure in Minnesota is foreclosure by advertisement, I want to describe to you a little bit how it would play out.
1st missed payment- Bank collectors start calling
2nd missed payment-Bank collectors get more agressive, usually after the 2nd missed payment the homeowner will get a NOD-Notice of Default of the terms of the loan.
3rd missed payment-Bank hires attorney to start foreclosure proceedings, the homeowner will get a notice of pendency of foreclosure.
4th-5th missed payment-The lender is likely advertising for the sheriff sale for 6 weeks prior to the sheriff sale in a local legal newspaper. This 6 week period is mandatory by the foreclosing lender.
6th missed payment- Right around this time a sheriff sale date happens, and the lender typically pledges the mortgage for what’s owing, sometimes less, at the sheriff sale, at this point, you can’t pay up the arrears on payments behind, the entire loan, arrears, late fees, attorney fees etc need to be paid after the sheriff sale.
There is then a 6 month redemption period that sellers are allowed to stay in the property. There are situations where this is 12 months, but this is rare it has to do with a lot of land, agricultural use or a 30% principle pay down on the mortgage over approximately 10 years, which likely wouldn’t be a short sale scenario anyways.
Please note the sooner we can start the short sale process the better, as the more marketing time to market the home we have the better, plus some lenders don’t like to negotiate at all after the sheriff sale, so time is of the essence. You can fill out your home info at:
